Wrong defaults for firefox print margins

[Aldo Brucale]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Printing from firefox (on a4 paper) the header, and sometimes the first few lines of text are missing (on paper only, not in print preview). I had to set print.print_edge_top to 10 to print pages completely.

Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. Could this be a duplicate of Bug #10910?

I don't think so, paper size is set to A4 and the print seems to fit the A4 paper sheet after I have changed print.print_edge_top in about:config. I can't tell if the resulting printed area is standard for A4 paper or if it's a bit tall.
